                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, an August NBC News poll 
revealed that fifty-eight percent of Americans believe the country is 
headed in the wrong direction.
  Already at a forty-year high, inflation has surged thirteen percent 
since Biden took office, while wages have risen only eight percent over 
the same period. Under Biden, inflation has outpaced wages for workers 
for seventeen months in a row, causing families to pay more for 
everyday goods and services.
  New economic figures show that inflation and high interest rates have 
cost the average American over four thousand dollars in annual income, 
according to a Heritage Foundation expert.
  Eggs are up forty percent. Gas is up twenty-six percent. Milk is up 
seventeen percent. Bread is up sixteen percent, and the list goes on. 
Families are suffering and jobs are being destroyed.
  Bidenflation prices are unsustainable for families.
  God Bless our troops, who successfully protected America for 20 
years, as the Global War on Terrorism moves from a safe haven in 
Afghanistan to America. Never forget 9-11.
